Ich möchte es keineswegs versäumen, Ihnen zu der
großartigen Ausstellung ANTVERPIA 2010 zu
gratulieren. Die Ausstellung war von ihrer Atmosphäre
her schöner, abwechslungsreicher, geschmackvoller
und unterhaltsamer als viele andere Veranstaltungen
in Deutschland, …
Mit freundlichen Grüßen, A.D.
European Championship of Philately
As we call it - nec plus ultra – philatelists could
admire the TOP exhibits of the 36 participating
European countries in this European
Championship of Philately !!
Birdpex 6 – Part of the exhibition
The great attraction here was, without doubt,
the stand of André BUZIN !
To celebrate his 25 years of Bird designs for the
Belgian Post ... a very special design was issued
To the Jury Secretary, Team leaders, Expert Team and
all Jury Members,
Dear Friends,
I cannot but repeat
myself in telling You again, that this team was one of
the best jury teams, I ever worked with in my 17
years of international experience as a judge.
Thanks
again for all your efforts, to bring in so little time such
good and balanced results to the Palmares!

The exibition hall- Antwerp Expo
Aujourd'hui, après avoir visité "Antverpia 2010", je ne
trouve toujours pas les mots qui conviennent pour
vous féliciter ainsi que toute votre équipe, d'avoir
réussi ce "chalenge" d'organiser une exposition de
cette envergure et une compétitive national et
européenne de ce niveau.
Je ne puis encore une fois que vous félicité et vous
garantir que je garderais très longtemps "Antverpia
2010" comme un souvenir impossible à oublier, G.H.
A lot of children enjoyed being at the Stamp
Show
Voor ik het vergeet: Ik ben zaterdagvoormiddag naar
Antverpia geweest, samen met m'n dochtertje Manon.
Het was indrukwekkend hoe groots het evenement
was en er waren zeer veel bezoekers. Manon was ook
zeer blij want ze heeft een postzegel mogen maken,
een puzzel gelegd en aan het rad mogen draaien (won
een StamPilou wekker en Sus & Wis briefkaarten).
Proficiat! P.B.
Postal Administrations of more than 30
Countries were present
